What is PTO membership?

The number one reason to join our not-for-profit Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is to benefit your child. Everyone is invited to join - parents, grandparents, teachers and community members who are invested in enriching the lives of students.

 

What does the PTO do?

We host fun family events - including an ice cream social, fall festival carnival, art walk, science fair and book fair - and sponsor in-school activities such as live theater field trips, candy grams and field day.

 

We support our teachers with classroom volunteers, supplies and appreciation events, and help the school acquire equipment, programs and services that benefit our students. 

 

Why should I join?

More than 30 years of research shows that students do better when their families are involved at school. Grades are higher, test scores rise, self-esteem grows and schools improve. By joining the PTO, you reinforce in your child’s mind the value of education.

 

How much does it cost?

Annual membership dues are $15 per family. The benefits include access to the online PTO directory and as a PTO member you have a voice and a vote at our monthly PTO general membership meetings.

 

How do I join?

Simply fill out and return the Membership Form along with membership dues to the front office or sign up and pay online (at top of this page). Congratulations! You’re in!

 

Do I have to attend meetings?

Joining the PTO doesn’t obligate you to anything. We’d love to see you, but understand that families are busy. Come when you can. Meetings are held the second Tuesday of the month in the library. See calendar for meeting start time. Children are welcome to read or play quietly in the library.

 

How do my dues support our school?

Our budget is supported through membership dues, community sponsorships and fundraisers. Historically, this has allowed us to offer many programs and services, such as:

  • Providing supply funds for teachers
  • Covering bus transportation costs for all field trips
  • Funding after-school theater program
  • Hosting free student & family activities
  • Purchasing hepa filters, yoga mats, outdoor tents & tables (2020-2021)

Do you need volunteers?

Yes! Whether it’s chaperoning field trips, helping in the classroom, or supervising student events, there is something for everyone. Many volunteers also work on projects from home or send in food and supplies for special events.


How do I volunteer?

Volunteer background check forms are available in the front office. A new form must be submitted each year. Once you become a member you will be notified by email about upcoming volunteer needs. You can decide at that time if it’s a fit for you or not. No obligation!
